I think we can accept such weirdness of some applications.
Most people will understand WHY ^c is overriden in ssh for example.
For me after 10 years of linux experience it was great mistery why a hell
does yum override ^c.
There is no clear reason for it to behave like that.
My suggestion ?
^m and a startup message like:
"If you want to switch from one mirror to another press CTRL+M"
